Hi, I’m from Guadalajara, Mexico. Its very interesting what you say about 3rd world computing, at University of Guadalajara many engineers, physicists, mathematicians etc, use Windows to develop technology, design , to coding etc. That is very very bad. I learn to use a computer when I was 6 years old on a Debian powered machine. I realized that there exist Windows when I got internet a few years later. Many people says to me that GNU/Linux its very difficult to learn, I always say to them: that is a wrong idea.I hope some day people open their minds and switch to this powerful system. Nice podcast.
BTW it is GNU/Linux not just Linux haha. Sorry for my English =/. Greetings from Mexico.
Jaoquin, muy bien! You English is great! It will certainly put my spanish to shame
It’s great to read a similar perspective. My father who is retired but teaching computer classes in Haiti said there is similar trend there where the lead Computer professor insists that Windows experience leads to employment. Where as I’d say if you start with Linux, figuring out windows is easy.
As for using the term GNU/Linux as we establish the show, we acknowledge that many of our listeners are not as tech savy and to alleviate confusion at this stage jut the general term Linux suffices.
Having visited Chiapas I cannot wait to got back to Mexico. Tambien en Mexico Primera División me gusto Guadalajara.
nos vemos!
